COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS/AP) – Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan tells a Colorado television station that the federal government shouldn’t interfere with states that have legalized medical marijuana.

Ryan told KRDO-TV in Colorado Springs that he personally doesn’t approve of medical marijuana laws. But he said that states should have the right to choose whether to legalize the drug for medical purposes.

For the purposes of this discussion I don’t even care about the merits of the issue. States decide what is a crime within their jurisdiction period.

And why would male users of the medicine have to be warned on the record never to use it if pregnancy was possible... that is stupid.

It's not the man that needs to worry about it, it's his partner. The drug is secreted in seminal fluid.

Huh?
Please read what I have posted again and get back to me.
Your post makes no sense.
Your question makes no sense.

Notice one odd thing abut your posts/ Everything you post is trash talking Romney/Ryan. Oddly enough you never attack the Progressive Fascist Democrats on anything.

So which Leftist clown posse do you work for?

Not really happy about this. I see this as a gateway to legalizing ALL pot use—and maybe even ALL drugs—in the future, which some do want to see. I’d rather go the OTHER way—and make ALL illegal drugs MUCH harder to get.

BUT..there are MUCH bigger “fish to fry” in this election. It will NOT change my, nor do I suspect many true conservatives, votes. And it WILL likely get a few, maybe even MORE than a few “independents” on the team too. A number of people I know, will NOT be unhappy about this one.

Like I said...MUCH bigger fish to fry than to worry about pot this round...

States Rights. Amendment #10.

Way to go, Paul Ryan!

It's a left wing propaganda bot, it will trash talk what ever Romney/Ryan do.

I’m with Paul on this too, but I’m thinking of taking the stigma away from the industrial use of basic hemp. Is there a more useful plant in God’s garden?

10th Amendment

perhaps what is good for dope is good for the unborn...

if federalism applies to MM, why not to the unborn?

The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.

John Stuart Mill was not a founder of the USA and that idea you quoted is not in the Constitution or any of our founding documents.

FYI, here's information about the STEPS program, which is required for dispensing Thalomid:

Still an authoritarian statist who hates the Constitution and liberty, I see.

Some things never change, do they G?

[Tailgunner Joe]

Isn't Ryan the same guy who wants to "save" Socialist Security to "preserve it" for the next generation?

Shouldn't states have a right to choose whether they want Social Security or not?

The thalidomide part confused me.

Your mother dropped you on your head a few times, right?

“Ryan just won us CO and CA”

You’re behind the times. The blatantly illegal “medical marijuana” experiment has been a dismal failure in Los Angeles (home to three million Californians). And this isn’t just me talking. The screaming citizenry has awakened, and we’re moving to get rid of this scourge.

We hate, hate, hate what these dirtbag criminal “collectives” and their equally dirtbag criminal “patients” have done to our neighborhoods.

Every neighborhood that isn’t Beverly Hills has been invaded by these drug dens, and the increase in crime, decay and antisocial behavior is patently manifest.

So, BY POPULAR DEMAND, ALL YOU LIBERTARIANS WHO INSIST ‘THE PEOPLE’ WANT MARIJUANA LEGALIZED, the City of Los Angeles has just banned these drug dens. Get ready for sweeping enforcement in the coming months to shut them down and kick them out.

And any city that’s considering giving in to the criminals and potheads? You. Will. Rue. The. Day.

Marijuana is a menace, and decent people aren’t havin’ it.

Perhaps we might, if we ever elect a real conservative to the presidency.

But first, Obama and the dems must be removed from power.

For men taking thalidomide:
Thalidomide is present in semen (fluid containing sperm that is released through the penis during orgasm). You must either use a latex condom or completely avoid any sexual contact with a woman who is pregnant or may become pregnant while you are taking this medication and for 4 weeks after your treatment. This is required even if you have had a vasectomy
